State Assembly passes bill on Common Core
The State Assembly passed a bill yesterday delaying schools from using Common Core tests to decide if a student is left back.

The Assembly also talked about getting ride of Common Core completely.
That suggestion was defeated by lawmakers who were worried about losing federal 'Race to the Top' grant money.
